Hello Patricia, Although I could not find the name mentioned in your list, I think I have a William Hulse who married the sister of my g-grandfather in the Potteries in 1889. The lady in question was Mary Sherlock who was 28 y.o. at her marriage. The Sherlock clan lived in the Tinkersclough area of Hanley in the period 1865-1900. If you have any interest please let me know.

Hi Jennie We have been touch in the past re Stirrup, but I don't think we've talked about Ray. On my tree is a Eunice Brunt, who married Moses Ray in 1836. Moses' brother Richard married Mary Stirrup. He was in partnership with Tideswell. I believe that there was a connection somewhere between my Hugheses and Ray, as well.

My Great grandmother was Hannah Eliza HULSE b. 1865, da of Jacob and Ann HULSE. Address in 1881 was 17 Park St Stoke-on-Trent. I haven't yet explored that branch of the family so if it fits with any of your research I would be very interested to know more.

Hi Everyone, My grandmother Sarah MORRIS was legitimitised when Thomas LIGHTFOOT married Mary MORRIS in 1893. Anyone researching LIGHFOOT? Mike Waterlooville

Pam, My grandmother, Mary Cotton, was born in Longton in 1886, though she later called herself Jenkins as her mother married a John Jenkins. Her mother, also Mary Cotton, was born in Longton in 1862. I have traced the line back to William Cotton, born before 1789, who married Ann Wood. Any chance our lines are connected?

Hello Jennie, My mother, Gertrude Birks, was born in East Vale, Longton, in 1908. I can trace her back to James Birks, born in Longton in 1805 to a Jane Birks who later married Thomas Ford. I have a lot of info on Birkses in Longton and surrounds. Do you think we have a connection?

Hi I am interested in finding out about somebody who served a prison sentence in the 1880's. i.e. His crime and the sentence received. Other than trawling through hundreds of Microfilm copies of newspapers is there an other way of going about this ? Any help would be much appreciated. Best Wishes Henry

Hello Many thanks to everyone who replied for their information and suggestions. It's all been very useful. Thanks again. Regards Christine Rouse

Hmmm..... This is weird but I may have an explanation, following a search of the 1901 census this lunchtime. In 1935, Ernest Dennis presided over the burial of one of my wife's Great grandfathers and is listed in the newspaper obituary as his brother-in-law (which would fit). I assumed he was a CofE priest because the service was held at the local parish church. Today I found Ernest's brother, Joseph, listed in the 1901 as a Congregational minister at Weedon, Northants, so it may well be that Ernest was also one, though he wasn't in 1901. A bit more digging required, methinks! :-) Thanks anyway, Keith

Hi Gang! What indices are there for the 1851 census? I know there is a surname index. SKS has done some lookups for me, but tells me there are 170 STUBBS entries - far too many for anyone to search thru, unless either desperate or going mad (maybe one leads to the other?). So if there is any way I can narrow down the search... I'm actually looking for Charles STUBBS. His son Thomas was born in Dublin in 1819 but married at St. Peter's in Stoke in 1842 - resident in Hanley acc. the certificate. I don't know if Charles came over from Ireland with his family, or whether Thomas migrated alone - so he may not even be on the census! I know of at least 2 Charles STUBBS in the 1851 census, but both quite young, one of them Thomas' son - Thomas was at Well St, with his family and mother-in-law. Any advice gratefully received! BW Andy.

Keith, I am sorry but there is no Ernest DENNIS or DENNISS in Crockford's for 1927. The DENNIS clergymen are: Edward, ordained deacon 1881, York, now at Tuttington, Aylsham Norfolk. Herbert Wesley, ordained deacon in 1884 in London, now at Cheam. John William, ordained deacon 1889, Montreal Joseph William, ordained deacon 1903, Canterbury, now in Kenilworth. Walter James, ordained deacon in 1906 in Salisbury, now in Southsea. There is a Harry DENNISS in Tanganyika. If any of these are likely to be your man, I can send more details.
